WOW!!! Barch's comments are pretty powerful, and well written! Barch could definately earn a living writing.
I think it is disgusting that NHL Stars go to play in Europe during the Lockout. How can they support the rest of the PA, who are sitting home, not collecting a paycheck, waiting, supporting those who are supposed to be fighting for them behind closed doors to get a deal done* when they are over in Europe collecting a minimal paycheck to play hockey?
The most disgusting thing about it is the European equivalent of Barch, who is now on the street, because a locked out, multi-millionaire NHL player took his roster spot. Those NHL players say they just want to play hockey. They could do what some other NHL'ers are doing, playing pickup games and donating the $$ to charity.
*The NHL players should be strongly encouraging the PA to put forth more of an effort in the negotiating proccess. (Fehr met with Bettman for 30 minutes yesterday?????? 30 minutes?? Hey, guys are on the street!!!!! It's time to act on your words, they are not doing "all they can" by spending 30 minutes a day negotiating!! Get back in there and work on it till it's done!!!!) - 89mogo
Who cares what that idiot tweets - if he makes 750K a year playing a game for the last however many years - then he should just shut the Eff up and go out and get a frigging job - and then tweet how bad it is taking a 20% cut off his $750K - too bad you have to get a job for the remaining 50 years of your life - waaaaaaahhh! Are you going to jump off a bridge because they cut the # of teams and then outlaw fighting in the NHL? because there is only a place for you because there are 30 teams - take your sorry ass down to the local factory and fill out an application - then tweet your heart away.
